"A man in the house is worth..." - Quote by Mae West

“Tira: Whatever you're thinkin' you're wrong. I only like him like a brother. You ain't got nothin' to worry about. . . . Say listen you. A better dame than you once called me a liar and they had to sew her up in twelve different places. You're lucky I'm a little more refined than I used to be. And if you was as much a lady as I am, you'd get out of here before I get real sore. Alicia: You haven't a streak of decency in you. Tira: I don't show my good points to strangers. I'll trouble you to scram.”

“In my long and colorful career, one thing stands out: I have been misunderstood.”

“I have never loved a man as much as I have loved myself”

“Although everyone fights, few people know how to have a good argument, an argument that clears the air and makes it less likely a future argument will take place on the same subject.”

“To say that a man is your Friend, means commonly no more than this, that he is not your enemy. Most contemplate only what would be the accidental and trifling advantages of Friendship, as that the Friend can assist in time of need by his substance, or his influence, or his counsel. Even the utmost goodwill and harmony and practical kindness are not sufficient for Friendship, for Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody.”

“Never ask a man where he has been.”

“If we women were particular about men's characters, we should never get married at all.”

“A man without a woman is like a neck without a pain.”

“Man weeps to think that he will die so soon; woman, that she was born so long ago.”
